How can I get cheap hotels in Sámara?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Sámara

  1. If you're looking to travel to Sámara on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $37. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $394. Staying a short amount of time in Sámara is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Sámara, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Sámara, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Sámara, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Bellavista Suites By Villas Verdes

10/10 Excellent
"This is a perfect romantic getaway to relax and enjoy time together. The meticulous details of the decor, plant life, landscaping, pools, made us not want to ever leave. We wanted to become full time residents. The rooms have high ceilings creating an open airy comfort. Rooms had private balconies and patios that surrounded the pool. The bedding was comfortable and immaculately clean. This Italian owner created a hideaway for travelers to relax, enjoy and feel warmth, comfort, and the true essence of Costa Rica’s Pura Vida. The exotic foliage surrounds the pool and the pool tile and design replicates a Roman bath. The presentation at breakfast was at least 6 star Michelin rating. The attention to detail, the attentive, kind, cheerful, and accommodating staff, address all of your needs. There is even a library balcony for one to read and watch the sunset. The absolute relaxation one feels while staying in this hotel reminds us all to enjoy and appreciate others and enjoy the beauty of the environment and our surroundings. We will be back!"
